1t is often said thai hundreds OF men
walk the streets of New York seeking
work and are unable to find it. The most
prominent broker in town said the other
night that this was entirely untrue.
81 can give every man work" he said,
Though it may not be the kind he desires
or is fitted for. I have dozens of rcstau-
rants and hotels to supply, and there are
always some vacancies. This mornings
papers announced the suicides of three
men who became desperate because they
could not get work. II they had been
willing to take the first thing that came
alo-g they'd have been all right. No man
need starvc.n
'Ilow low do wages run?n
Il sent three men to work as porters
to-day for Sc q week, including luncheon.
You stare. or course SO is nothing to us,
but the man who won't work for that
much and six square meals n week will
have to struggle III New York. No matter
how small the wages, you can always get
men to accept them, but you cannot al
ways get n man who has held n high
position to accept n lower one. They will
starvc to death first. | mean this liter
ally. They will undergo the awful hor-
rors of starvation before they will throw
away their pride. 1t is the ruling spirit,
you know. The other day the doctors
told Dewey, the big Wall street operator,
that he had only n few hours to live. He
called for his broker at once and arranged
for selling out his stock. Can you i'm
agine n man thinking of the stock market
when on the very verge of deathY Well,
the same principles apply to paupers.
They starvc to death mt times before they
will consent to compete with the laboring
man. "-Dlakely Hall.
